The ideal mid-40s length racer/cruiser…and winner of
The Sailing World Magazine Overall Boat of the Year,
J/133 is a yacht with the stability for short-handed
cruising, race winning speed under IRC & PHRF,
durability for rough offshore passages. Add in the
retractable carbon bowsprit and flying and handling the
asymmetrical spinnaker becomes a breeze.
The J/133 combines cruising comfort with more
powerful performance ratios. The easy to manage sailplan
allows fewer and less experienced crew, and the extra
rig power afforded by a low VCG keel and standard Hall
carbon mast will maximize performance across a wide
spectrum of conditions.
Since her introduction, the J/133 has established
a winning record in some of the highest profile PHRF &
IRC events around the world including class wins at
Skandia Cowes Week, Key West Race Week, Spi-Ouest Week
in France, Storm Trysail's BI Race Week, and most
recently Boat of the Series at the Garmin Hamble Winter
Series. But let's face it, racing is just part of the
ownership equation for most of us. The J/133 also
has full interior accommodation with a 3-cabin single
head or dual cabin-dual head layout. There is plenty of
space for getting comfortable inshore or offshore with
proper offshore galley, nav station and companionway
designs, lots of grab rails, large sea-berths,
comfortable well ventilated cabins and a warm varnished
wood finish.
With over 2,200 J Sprit boats launched in the past
decade, sailing with asymmetric spinnakers is now firmly
entrenched and J/Boats is leading the charge. In famous
sailing venues like Annapolis, Newport, San Francisco
Bay and the Solent, it’s now commonplace to see more
asymmetric spinnakers than conventional; and for good
reason. A-sails are easier! With the J/133, the
ease of going fast with less crew is combined with a
classic, sea-going J cruising interior, to produce a
boat as comfortable to sleep aboard as she is to sail.
If you ask an owner what they like best about their J,
chances are they will say ‘how well she sails’. The
J/133 is designed for blazing speed with fingertip
control, whether carving through waves upwind in 12
knots or surfing with double-reefed main in a squall.
Long waterline length combined with narrow waterline
beam results in a hull that tracks well through the
waves with only minimal input from the wheel.
If you own a boat that is fast in light wind, is stable
in a breeze, and can be sailed single-handed, chances
are you’ll spend a lot more time sailing. And if one’s
happiness is directly proportional to one’s sailing
time, then we think J/133 will be the source of
many smiles.
